Chapter 508: Qin Wen marches north to Jia Yu and south

After hearing what Xi Zhicai said, Qin Wen's face instantly became serious.

The Hetao Plain is suitable for cavalry combat, and the three counties in the central and northern parts are included in the Hetao, and only Yinshan is dangerous to defend between the two.

Therefore, as long as the Jin army does not completely occupy the Hetao, the three counties in the north and central will always be exposed to the iron cavalry of the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu iron cavalry will come and leave as much as they want.

Because the war between the Jin army and the Xiongnu was basically won repeatedly, it also made the generals of the Jin army generally arrogant, thinking that the Xiongnu were nothing more than that, and even some people thought that the Xiongnu had been beaten and feared, and they no longer dared to invade and merge with the state.

Such emotions are generally spreading in the Jin army, and even Qin Wen has such thoughts in his heart, but as a military advisor, Xi Zhicai is very sober.

Xi Zhicai knew in his heart that the enmity between the Xiongnu and the Jin army was as deep as the sea, and it was impossible to coexist at all, the reason why they didn't come to attack before was that their strength had not yet recovered, so they were licking their wounds.

And now that Temujin has unified Mobei, his comprehensive strength is better than in the past, if he is annexing Xianbei, then the three counties in the north and the north will not be able to hold it.

The three counties in the north of China have developed with great difficulty, how can they all make wedding dresses for the Huns? So even in order to keep the three counties in the north and the middle, you must take the Hetao!

As soon as he thought of this, Qin Wen glanced at the generals for a week, and said in a deep voice: "What the military advisor said is right, if we don't have Yinshan for a day, our army won't be at peace for a day." This time it is to smash the pot and sell iron, even if the Xiongnu come to help, our army must also seize the Hetao. ”

Xi Zhicai and Qin Wen have said clearly enough, and of course the ministers can understand the seriousness of the problem, so they naturally will not oppose the dispatch of troops.

The nature of the capture of the Loop has now changed.

Before, it was to balance the Xiongnu and prevent the Xiongnu's strength from expanding too much.

And now it is to preserve the development achievements of the state for more than a year, so that the situation of the Jin army can be more secure.

Different purposes naturally produce different results.

The Jin army must seize the Hetao and establish a checkpoint in Yinshan, otherwise when the Xiongnu invade in the future, it can only fight the Xiongnu, which is extremely unfavorable for any army in the world.

After pondering for a moment, Sima Fang stood up and said: "Lord, if you have to fight, your subordinates think that you can temporarily raise the tax, and explain it clearly to the people, I believe that the people of the five northern counties will definitely understand and support our army." ”

Xi Zhicai also stood up at this time and added: "Another point, the war with the Xiongnu is not just a matter of my Jin army, but to protect the safety of the entire state. ”

Qin Wen was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "What does the military advisor mean?" ”

"The lord is the pastor of the state, and he can order the other four counties of the state to be guarded, and lead the army to follow our army to the battle, so that it can also share part of the pressure for our army."

The other four county guards are Wang Shichong, Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang, and Yuan Yi, these four people are nominally subordinates of Qin Wen, the state pastor, but in fact they are divided from one side like Qin Wen, so Qin Wen is not sure that they will obey his orders.

"Will they send troops to help our army?" Qin Wen

A sneer flashed at the corner of Xi Zhicai's mouth, and then he nodded affirmatively and replied, "Yes!" ”

Then Xi Zhi leaned into Qin Wen's ear and whispered something, and Qin Wen immediately laughed when he heard it, and quipped: "Military advisor, you have a lot of bad water in your stomach." ”

Xi Zhicai also smiled when he heard this: "The lord praised it falsely." ”

Qin Wen nodded, and then solemnly ordered the generals: "This battle is very important, so the general decided to personally lead the army to the battle, and mobilize 40,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry for a total of 70,000 troops, who of the generals was the first......

Zhao Yun had been waiting for a long time, and before Qin Wen could finish speaking, Zhao Yun quickly stood up and said, "The last general was originally the vanguard, and he swore to calm the alien race for the lord." ”

Seeing this, Qin Qiong and the others secretly scolded Zhao Yun for being cunning in their hearts.

Every time there is a war, you Zhao Yun is the first to fight, can't you leave us some soup to drink?

The generals who were already lagging behind one percent also stood up one after another to ask for battle, but Qin Wen's eyes still fell on Zhao Yun.

"Okay, Zilong's words have won my heart, and the position of pioneer will be handed over to you this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Wen seemed to remember something, and added: "If this Zhan Zilong can make great achievements, the day the army returns to the army in victory will be the time when you and Su Zhen get married." ”

Zhao Yun was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for the success of the lord, Zhao Yunwan's death is difficult to report." ”

Qin Liangyu, who was standing beside Qin Wen, was already flushed with shame at this time.

Seeing this scene, all the generals couldn't help but sigh, Brother Zilong, your life is really good!

Qin Liangyu is now twenty-one years old, but she is still not married, and she is already an old girl in this era.

Qin Wen, as his father, was naturally very anxious, so he simply took this opportunity to match the two, anyway, he was quite satisfied with Zhao Yun.

After Jia Yu learned of her husband's decision, she also readily agreed.

Through this period of investigation, Jia Yu is also extremely satisfied with Zhao Yun, thinking that although Zhao Yun is from a poor family, she is outstanding in both conduct and ability, and is fully worthy of her daughter.

Of course, the most important point is that Jia Yu doesn't want to drag out her daughter's marriage any longer.

"Satisfied now? If it weren't for your opposition at the beginning, Mrs., you might even have a grandson. Qin Wen complained to Jia Yu, who was sorting out his clothes.

When Jia Yu heard this, he immediately glanced at Qin Wen and said softly: "Husband, if you support it, why didn't you stand up in the first place?" If the husband speaks, how can the concubine object? ”

"Uh......" Qin Wen was immediately speechless by his wife, so he had to laugh dryly: "Yes, yes, it's all for the husband, it's all right for the lady." ”

"That's pretty much it." Jia Yu smiled indifferently, and then frowned and said, "Husband, can't this battle be handed over to the fourth uncle?" Why do you have to go out in person? Your body ......"

A trace of sadness flashed in Qin Wen's eyes, and he put his hand on his wife's shoulder, and said seriously: "I promise my wife, I will definitely cultivate after this battle, and I will never lead the army in person to fight." ”

Qin Wen knew his physical condition, but at the same time, he was also a general who had been fighting for decades, and he was really unwilling to withdraw from the battlefield in such a way.

Qin Wen had already regarded this battle of Hetao as the last battle of his lifetime, so he had to lead the army himself.

Jia Yu sighed and said with a look of resentment: "The concubine knows that she can't stop her husband, but I hope that her husband can keep his promise." ”

"Okay, let's not mention that." Qin Wen hurriedly diverted the topic and asked, "Madame's preparations for going south this time are all ready?" ”

"Well, after the husband sets out on the expedition, the concubine will immediately lead the caravan south."

"The caravan has moved south, and there are many matters, and there is Mrs. Lao."
